Proceed to Antares Sector and engage the Antigeneses. Prevent their expansion beyond the Antares buffer zone. Keep us safe and protect us from their encroachment into our space. Drive them back and make them fear to come forward once more. Your bravery is legendary. You will be remembered in future history as those who refused to bow, like the knights and paladins of old. Stand tall before our enemies and tell them in a firm voice backed by a firmer hand – you shall not pass. The only aliens in human space will be those we allow and none others. Secure this victory for all mankind.

The Skinnies have pushed past our colonies in Paneth space. This surge is unprecedented, violating the buffer zone and human space. Their lackeys, the Scutigerans and the Antigeneses have been the appetizers but now is the time for the main course. The Skinnies are our real enemy. Once they are no longer pulling the strings of lesser races, our borders will solidify and the buffer zone will expand. The Skinnies are not going to go down easily. They will fight you for Paneth like it’s their last bastion.

Kill or be killed. Take the fight to the enemy, only until you can't. Then repair, regroup, rearm, and return to the fight. Unless the enemy shows up before you're ready. Then you get ready. There are no do-overs in war. While the battle rages in space, the Borwyn decide to put boots on the ground in a daring, risk-all return to Septimus. The combat team is tasked to disrupt strategic communications. Is it even possible?

The end is in sight. The Borwyn dig deep into their reserves. In space. On the ground. Different environments. The same engagement. One final battle to determine who will survive to lead Septimus. Jaq, Crip, Max, Deena, Brad, Bec, Teo, and the rest of the team giving everything they have, bending the fabric of the universe to their wills to overcome the ultimate weapon the Malibor deploy.

A worldwide conspiracy dismantles civilization one city at a time. What could you do about it? Who would you leave behind? Even if you were the mayor… Cory Beringer returns in a new confrontation that leaves Fairbanks struggling, suffering, and unable to get back on its feet. Trials, tribulations, conflict, a newly hostile media, and wishful thinkers stand in Cory’s way. He never wanted to be mayor, but since he was, he would do the best job he could. The people had put their trust in him.

Who decides what’s best for Alaskans? Mandates from on high, for the greater good. Reduce violence. Eliminate hunger. Save the people by dehumanizing them. Make them dependent. Take the citizens' voice. Remove their claws. Cory Beringer’s old man took him to Rhodesia to fight as a mercenary when the boy was thirteen. Who does that? Someone who believes when society falls, it won’t be a catastrophic train wreck.
